According to the Economic News App, OpenAI announced on Tuesday that it has reached a cooperation agreement with Condé Nast. Through this cooperation, the artificial intelligence company supported by Microsoft will be able to display content from media such as Vogue, The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Wired, and Bon Appétit in its products.

OpenAI wrote in a blog post, " As we release our SearchGPT prototype, we are testing new search features that make finding information and reliable sources faster and more intuitive." OpenAI stated that they will combine dialogue models with web information to provide users with fast, timely answers and clear, relevant sources.

OpenAI also added that the SearchGPT prototype provides direct links to news stories and that the company plans to "integrate the essence of these features into ChatGPT" in the future.

This is the latest trend in which some media and artificial intelligence startups such as OpenAI team up to sign content transactions. For example, in July of this year, Perplexity AI launched a revenue sharing model for publishers to respond to plagiarism charges.Fortune, Time, Entrepreneur, Texas Tribune, Der Spiegel, and WordPress.com are among the first partners of the company's "publisher program".

OpenAI also announced in June a multi-year content partnership agreement with Time magazine. According to the press release, under the agreement, OpenAI will be able to access current and archival articles from Time's more than 100-year history, allowing ChatGPT to display content from Time when responding to user questions and use this content to "enhance its products", including potentially for use in training its AI models.

Similar collaborations were reached with News Corp in May, which allowed OpenAI to access current and archival articles from publications such as The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Barron's, and the New York Post. Also in May, Reddit announced a collaboration with OpenAI, allowing the company to use Reddit's content to train its AI models.

At the same time, as AI-generated content becomes increasingly popular, other news publishers and media institutions are actively protecting their businesses from infringement.

The nonprofit news organization, Center for Investigative Reporting, which is the oldest in the United States, sued OpenAI and its main supporter Microsoft in federal court in June, accusing them of copyright infringement. This lawsuit is similar to lawsuits filed by publications such as The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the New York Daily News.

In December last year, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, accusing them of intellectual property infringement and claiming billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages for the "illegal copying and use of The New York Times's unique and valuable works" in ChatGPT's training data. OpenAI disagreed with The New York Times's allegations.

In April of this year, the Chicago Tribune and seven other newspapers also filed similar lawsuits.
